Just paid 2000 baht for overstay.

I followed everything they told me to do after getting my first 3 months visa. Report back in 2 months.

To which I did, and they told me “you don’t need to come, come back next month”. And I did. But when I went back, they told me I needed an authorisation letter to get an extension, which would lead to me overstaying. But literally nobody informed me anything. I asked for any options to avoid overstay but officer seemed reluctant to help.

Then I asked if I could fly out and come back instead of overstaying but their question was “it’s just 2000 baht for overstaying. Can’t you pay?”

It wasn’t about paying for me but the “overstay” fine in my portfolio

To me it just sounds like they want my money….

I know I’m going to get remarks from all the old hags in this group who think they know it all, but I’m just gna say this first. I clearly don’t know everything.

TM30 problems!! Tomorrow I will go apply for the 1-year spouse visa. I'm currently on a 90-day non-O.

While gathering everything I need, I contacted my condo agent and asked him for the TM30. He sent it a few hours later and upon inspection I noticed the "move in" date was today, 23/10/24. Apparently they NEVER did a TM30 for me despite us having a conversation about it upon move-in and my wife and I were assured it would be done, no problem. But when I asked him for it today, he just made one up on the spot with the incorrect move in date.

So now, I am forced to go to immigration tomorrow with a rental contract that says I moved in August 10th and a TM30 that says I moved in October 23rd.

How screwed am I?

Hi All,

I have a quick question. I have my DTV visa appointment In Vientiane next week.

I have everything in order, but just noticed my passport photos are 3.3 x 4.5 cm wide instead of 3.5 x 4.5 cm.

Does anyone know if they’re super fussy on this? I can’t find any information on this but don’t want to give any small reason for it to be rejected.

I got my DTV today from the Chicago consulate. Applied for remote work and gave letter from company, license as proof of location and my most recent bank statement. It took 8 days. I called them since there had been no update and I was told it can take up to three weeks. I asked if there was any way they could process mine faster and they said they would try. An hour later they emailed asking for my resume, I uploaded it and less than two hours later my visa was issued!
